At that time, Fultz + 1st / Tatum swap was terrible, but it looks like a one of the biggest mistakes of the decade now.

Props to the real scouts tho https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1461840&start=1920

Even Bumrie would be an improvement :lol: . Not sure what to say, hardly a guard I don't hate. I'll me amazed if our team ends up being watchable.

Nice call Mos/Bish

Did you think his shooting would make him a bust or something else?

I got to throw this question out. I know its game one and it's early. BUT I actually thought about it last year, but I let it pass because it was Embiid first year not worry about injury. That be said, are the 76ers miss using Joel Embiid? He should be a 27 and up pt scorer and a player that is the focal point of the offense. It seems he is regulated as a player who just gets the ball in the flow of the offense, thus he is not controlling the game. If the flow doesn't go to him, he just left out regardless if they are struggling to score or not.

I don't think his game is polished enough for 27 ppg. He was forcing a lot of stuff last night (and last season)

Then again, the 6ers don't really have a ton of offensive threats, so maybe he should just shoot more

Nah, shooting was questionable but not to this degree. I would say, other top prospects at that time had higher floor than him. Lonzo had iq, Tatum scoring, JJ motor and defense, Isaac size and speed. Fultz was solid all around, but not great in any aspect of the game. Most of his college highlights looked like this


Great stat line, but almost every drive/jumpshot is highly contested. And that's on college level. I think he still can be solid at P'n'R, but ironically he plays on a team which never runs P'n'Rs

I didn't realize his shooting/scoring wasn't amazing in college. Always assumed it was an asset since a lot of people made it sound like he was a perfect fit for Philly at the time he was taken. I guess they got overeager to find a guard for their core.

Do you think they trade him soon or keep

Embiid's game is closer to Bosh( face ups, pick and pops, 3s), but he thinks he's like Shaq or Olajuwon

The ball doesnt run through him. He would shoot more if the scheme ran through him. I dont see how his game not polished, what can he not do?

I guess they thought he could be like McCollum or Beal but better. Dunno why.

They will keep him for this season, but I would be surprised if he's still on the team next year

Like Mos said, he tries to be a bit too Shaq-like. Tries to dominate post-ups, but gets sloppy. Too turnover prone too.

Boston's a top five defense, so maybe he'll get better, but that's just what I saw last night/last season

The Milwaukee Bucks Dancers will show less skin and tone down the sexy routines as the team prepares to move to its new $524 million arena.

The re-set of the Dancers is part of an overall "rethinking" of the in-game entertainment led by Johnny Watson, the team's director of live programming and entertainment.

"Teams have gotten way too 'out there,'" said Petra Pope, a consultant working with the Bucks dancers.

"The costumes have gotten super skimpy," she said. "They should understand that's not adding to the solution -- it's adding to the problem."
